Abstract:
Develop a model marine propulsion system for teaching aid is the main basis
of this project. On board ship, the system that has the main role to move the
ships is propulsion system, but, when it comes to education purposes, the
development of this system as teaching aids is still not much. The objective of
the final year project is to develop the model marine propulsion system for
teaching aid with the advantages of a portable, easy to handle and low cost as
it is made of recycled and low-cost materials and the most importantly is to
make sure this product can help student to increase their knowledge about the
propulsion system. A research has been done about the basics propulsion
system. As the workers nowadays not have the basic idea of the propulsion
system, it is tricky for them to works in industries without the knowledge.
Regarding this challenge, we agreed to create a product for teaching aids
which meets this requirement. A research also be done to find the suitable
design and materials used for the project to make it much reliable as a teaching
aids. Technical knowledge and skills such as cutting, wiring, coding,
customize, and soldering is needed to complete the project. The main
materials used to make the propulsion system are shaft, propeller, motor and
main materials used to makes the hull of the stern part are marine plywood
and cement due to its durability and similarity to make the propulsion it the
most suitable materials to meet purpose of teaching aids. The main materials
used to make the display table is mild steel square hollow bar due to its
strength, easy to handle and welding. There are some problems faced during
the process to complete this project but has be handled smoothly. This product
is then tested to determine its capability and effectiveness.
